If you\'re on the zaurus, you should be able to do the following:

mv Super Mario World (U) [!].zip Super_Mario_World.zip   (mv oldname newname)

and use the tab completion to have the zaurus complete the Super Mario... long name.

I don\'t know how you could do this for multiple files, only one at a time.

hope this helps
